Feeling worse earthing

I'm starting to get really frustrated. It's been 2 weeks and I'm still doing really badly -- my 'adrenal fatigue' is just so much worse since I began earthing (in particular, my ability to stand for certain periods of time), which is kind of the opposite of what I'd hoped for .. I spoke to the guy from the company (who is nice, but not medically-trained) and he said still feeling unwell after 2 weeks would put me in a very small percentage of people, as far as he was concerned.

I know I'm not 'entitled' to feel better from a treatment, but I just feel like I always react badly to everything I try.

Bummer. Although you already knew you were in a very small percentage of people :|

Reacting badly to everything you try could indicate that your body is clinging desperately to a precarious equilibrium. I spent a lot of years there and am not completely clear of it.

It's true. The only thing I've noticed is that I have significantly more skin peeling/flaking since earthing, so it's possible it's having some effect on fungal/yeast die-off.

I was hoping the earthing might *help* me tolerate other treatments -- since die-off completely floors me -- but I'm thinking I should maybe stop it until I see my doctor again.
